PARAGRAPHS FOR PURCHASERS 193 
- “Two hundred and sixty-eight of the best shots 
-im the country took part in the Grand American 
Handicap Tournament held in Indianapolis, 
Ind., June 19-22. This event was attended by 
shooters from all over the country. The great 
-event of the week was the Grand American 
Handicap, which was won by Mr. F. E. Rogers, 
‘of -St. Louis, who broke 94 out of too targets 
from the 17-yard mark in a gale of wind, shoot- 
ing Winchester Factory Loaded Shells. In each 
of the other three events on the program, Win- 
chester Factory Loaded Shells or Winchester 
Repeating Shotguns landed in first place, mak- 
ing a clean sweep for these justly popular and 
reliable goods. 

Every owner of a shotgun of standard make 
takes a just pride in the accomplishments 
of “‘his” gun. When his arguments for its 
_ superiority—perfectly obvious, since he himself 
would have no other make—are backed up by a 
victory at the traps or at a world’s exhibition, 
the owner of the “‘best’”’ gun raises the ‘‘very 
lowest” he would accept for his gun another 
five dollars or so. And why not? Just now 
every owner of an L. C. Smith is richer because 
of the winning by F. C. Rogers, of St. Louis, of 
‘the last Grand American Handicap, held in 
Indianapolis in June. Mr. Rogers shot his 
favorite L. C. Smith, and broke 94 targets out of 
100, from the 17-yard mark. And the Hunter 
Arms Company, Fulton, N. Y., report a busy 
time at the factory. Again, why not? Straws 
show which way the wind blows, and the man 
who wants a real good gun may be glad to know 
that for either trap or field shooting a great 
many discriminating shooters have taken to the 
L. C. Smith, equipped with the Hunter one- 
trigger mechanism. Better yet is the Hunter 
one-trigger gun. 

Peters factory-loaded shells may be had 
loaded with any load of any standard powder. 
Popular with trap shooters, just as good in the 
field. Try ’em on woodcock; they’re quick. 
Write The Peters Cartridge Company, Cincin- 
nati, Ohio, and mention RECREATION. 
CAMP SUPPLIES 
The camp supplies, to be complete, should in- 
clude Borden’s Eagle Brand Condensed Milk, 
Peerless Evaporated-Cream and Borden’s 
Malted Milk, all of which contain substantial 
nourishment in compact form, and supply every 
milk requirement. 

o 
In a marine engine—reliability, that’s the 
thing! And especially must this be looked for 
in an engine for a small boat; for the little fel- 
lows are not always as good as they look. They 
may have power—when.they run. But, the 
‘main thing is the steady “‘Teuf! teuf!”’ as the 
French would say. When you have both re’ia- 
bility and power, that’s all you want. Moral: 
Get a good engine, one of the Fairbanks-Morse 
kind. A postal card to Fairbanks, Morse & 
Co., Franklin and Monroe Streets, Chicago, will 
bring you their catalogue 817 S. M., which tells 
about the smaller sizes. 

For a wee little camera to put in your pocket 
and take along on your trip, the new Premoette 
can’t be beaten. Itis one of the most compact 
daylight-loading film cameras in the world, 
takes pictures 2} by 3}, and it weighs only 
eleven ounces. Economical, because first cost is 
small, films are less expensive than if they were 
larger, and then you can have your best nega- 
tives enlarged. Get a catalogue from the 
Rochester Optical Company, 46 South Street, 
Rochester, N. Y.

The art catalogue of the Ithaca Gun Com- 
pany, Ithaca, N. Y., is most interesting, it illus- 
trating and describing seventeen grades of shot- 
guns. The Ithaca featherweight, 5?-pound, 
small-gauge guns are becoming very popular 
for upland bird shooting. 

The new Marlin 3-pound, ro-ounce, .22 
caliber repeater, the Model No. 18, has taken 
hold to a surprising degree; since its advent, six 
months ago, the manufacturers have at no time 
caught up with orders for this little rifle. 
Many calls have come from campers, cyclists, 
canoeists and others for this .22, fitted with a 
sling, and the Marlin Company announces that 
it can, at a slight additiona! charge, now furnish 
the Model No. 18, fitted with swivels and sling 
strap. Another feature of interest to our readers 
is the fact that, if the rifle is loaded with the 
short cartridges and a long-range shot is pre- 
sented, the shooter can, with the action open, 
remove the short cartridge from the carrier and 
insert a long-rifle cartridge directly into the 
chamber. He can then do accurate and effective 
work at ranges up to 200 yards,
